Space Program in TKOM

Welcome to the Space Program of Take On Mars. The area you see in front of you is the Mission Control room, from where you will send vehicles to the surface of Mars on various scientific missions.

First off, you will be offered to choose between Game time and Real Time. You may skip time if using Game Time, but time passes only as you play.

The Real Time setting is a bit more hard-core and does not allow time-skipping, instead working with real-life time.

This choice is given only once, so choose wisely.

You may also disable automatic tutorials:such as this one using the button at the bottom right of the Tutorials menu.

This menu may also be brought up at any, point in the game using the shortcut key (default T), and serves as a useful reference in case you get lost.

Lastly, the top-right of the screen displays information about your current budget, as well as your current technological level. The Tech Level deterimies what equipment you have at your disposal, and increases as you complete the various missions on Mars.
